As the smoke burns down to my fingers
To blink a bloodshot world away
And drink in rough, and burn, and heat
Until she comes to kiss the dark.
Lost City
The undulating sands stretch out,
a vast expanse, sweltering
under the gaze of the sun
as it burns its way across the sky,
dunes flowing like currents,
tides on...
Time
'The clocks cry her name from
Outside the door;
Their hands are stiff and still.'
Changes by the River
'It doesn’t matter how stagnant we feel,
The seasons keep on flowing'
Be
"Travelling into
The sunset, a new cowboy ready to ride"
The Felling of Yggdrasil
"Worlds branch off like capillaries
From an oaken aorta"
Ten Days Troilus Waits for Cressida
"Above me, the Milky wheel turns round and round"
Addressing the Unknown
'Let's watch the sun making its paperboy/rounds tapping on the window and shedding/off its flecks of glow'
O Cypris
'O Cypris!
I must rank among those who seek your nectar.'
Time Alone
"The echo in the chapel chimes
as I take my unlikely seat."
The Potter
"Did you ever meet the man,
Who lived once in this place?"
Rules to Live By in Your New Home
"No 1. Label your collar
to avoid feeling ornamental."
A Story That Begins With Rain
"Under the bent thumb streetlight,
umbrella domes burst forth, splashing
rich nightfall
onto their neighbours."
